Based on my experience of this last year I will say some are different.
Because I could not get the collapsed bearings out myself I took the whole thing along with my newly purchased bolt kit (labeled as 2006 130mm) to the Chester Specialized concept store. After a two days faffing with the linkage and calls to SBC they sorted it but I had to shell out for a new bolt kit.
If you are doing it yourself call SBC and tell them your frame number. My frame was a US import and the 'hourglass' spacer (1H on the schematic 'shock link frame pivot spacer') that sits in the middle of the two sides of the linkage was different. There was talk of filing down the shoulders of said hourglass in my original bolt kit before I agreed to wait for another bolt kit to come via courier the next day.
The whole thing cost me £105 (£40 labour, £25 bolt kit and £40 bearings) but I was very happy with the guys at Chester. I do like to do my own maintenance but without a torque wrench those alloy bolts scare me. I have snapped 2 before when putting the shock back in after services!
